Assets under management, asset by assetSituation. A first Irish acquisition for the buyer, needing local underwriting it could take to its own committee.
What we did. Advised on the €11.5m purchase from sourcing through due diligence to completion, then took on the asset and income management.
Outcome. The centre is held for income with a plan built on tenant mix, lease renewals and restructuring, and the reversion in passing rents.
Situation. An approximately 115,000 sq ft mixed-use building in Cork city centre, available off-market from an institutional vendor.
What we did. Led by Jonathan Hillyer: identified the opportunity, underwrote it, negotiated and carried the acquisition to completion.
Outcome. Acquired off-market; the building is now set for a repositioning by its new owner.
Situation. A multi-let office building of approximately 41,600 sq ft in the IFSC with vacant suites and leases falling due.
What we did. Took on the asset management and letting advice: a plan for the vacant floors, renewal and restructuring of the leases that were due, and improvements to the building's environmental credentials.
Outcome. A five-year lease of some 9,000 sq ft completed with an international occupier; suites remain available and the lease renewal programme continues.
